§ Mr. Sharpasked the Minister of National Insurance why Mrs. E. Wharton, 25, Jeremy Lane, Heckmondwicke, whose husband died on 9th May, 1946, is still without the widow's pension to which she is entitled; and why his Department now state that the pension application form acknowledged under reference 48701304 and the death certificate acknowledged under reference 01517605 dated 16th May, 1946, cannot be traced and that a new application must be made.
§ Mr. SteeleI am having inquiries made and will write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
